FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Can I wear these for everyday walking?

What is the difference between Gel-Kahana 8 and other ASICS trail shoes?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing thinner socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overly tight. Some users find a break-in period helps.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

While designed for trails, performance on very wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Clean the outsoles to remove debris that could affect grip. Consider alternative footwear for highly wet conditions.

Discomfort during long runs

Ensure the shoes fit correctly and are properly laced. If discomfort persists, consider the terrain and your running form. These shoes are best suited for moderate trails and may not offer the advanced cushioning of specialized marathon shoes.
